San Jose Divorce or Domestic Partnership Mediation Services

Many Parties seek to resolve their disputes by reaching agreements. Unfortunately, they may not be fully aware of their specific legal rights or be aware of the legal process of ending their relationship and resolving all the issues.

Should the Parties make any mistakes in preparation of their agreement, they may later incur significant expenses and hurdles if one Party seeks to wish to undo that agreement.

Additionally, one Party may be willing to settle but the other Party may be less reluctant and distrustful of the other side’s intentions.

Here at the Law Offices of Rod Firoozye, we offer extensive services in both private mediation of family law disputes. We can assist the Parties as a joint neutral mediator, or alternatively we can assist one Party to assist in seeking an appropriate mediator and consult with that Party in responding to any questions arising from the mediation process.

Legal Separation

Legal separation is a little understood option for couples seeking divorce in San Jose, California. At the Law Offices of Rod Firoozye, we have the experience and understanding of California law to assist you in making decisions with your best interests in mind. We will advise you of your options regarding divorce, mediation and legal separation.
A legal separation is very much the same as divorce and actually requires the same paperwork as a divorce. Your assets will be legally divided and child custody, child support and alimony agreements will need to be established. Being legally separated also affects your tax status and you will be required to file taxes as single persons.
Divorce and legal separation only differ in a few key matters and is therefore only an appropriate choice for couples that have extenuating circumstances. Acceptable reasons to file for legal separation rather than divorce include:

Wanting to maintain health insurance or retirement and social security benefits you’re your spouse.

Needing to establish residency requirements to file for divorce (but intending to do so when requirement is met).

Having religious beliefs that do not allow divorce.

Should you require assistance with a legal separation, you should contact the Law Offices of Rod Firoozye.
